you know, i don't know now it's four or five years later i'm not sure how possible that is. >> john: i'm afraid you may be right. i would like to switch topics quickly. how unusually is it for an army chief of staff to plead with congress not to spend billions on a weapons program even one that is not needed. >> it's very unusual, and it shows that there is room to cut in the pentagon budget. most people don't know that from 1998 or so up until 2010-2011 the pentagon budget more than doubled from $300 billion to up around $700 billion. $700 billion, more than doubled. it did go down a little bit in in 2011-2012, but there is still lots of room to cut. and the abrams tank is one case in point. people might remember from the election last year mitt romney was talking these fan it wascal things about the navy, building ships the navy didn't want. these things are done in the name of being tough on our enemies, being tough on terror, as well as the job programs that you and heather discussed. it's just very hard to break that chain. >> john: indeed, i can recall senator lieberman of conn

maybe five or ten years ago you might have been surprised but we live in a hyper political world where the unifying factor in the republican party is the hatred of president obama. if there is any way to blame this on president obama is the way that i think the republican caucus and the congress unifies itself. i think it's sad. i think it's pathetic. but i do think that what lindsey graham is showing is the one thing that seems to now unify conservatives is a hatred of president obama and that putting that out there in the face of this allows for the republican party to push off the front pages of the paper all the divisions that it's facing right now. >> john: i would be curry if lindsey graham would apply the same lodge to president bush. do you think he's the wrong messenger considering how unpopular he is with the tea party. do you though there is any truth to that? >> i think what it is the republican establishment represented by people like lindsey graham, they're desperate for any issue to bridge the gap between what is perceived as establishment republicanism and tea party rep

almost one in five. according to the times adhd diagnoses are up 16% since 2007. and 41% in the past ten years. meanwhile, spending on adhd drugs has gone from $4 billion in 2007 to $9 billion last year. and the cdc data shows nine southern five midwestern states and maine report adhd rates for school kids of around 12%. significantly higher than the rest of the country. if you're looking at the numbers, adhd researcher james swanson said... apparently quite a bit. but that's not to say that adhd isn't real or that kids who have it and are put on medication don't benefit enormously from the treatment. in fact, one mother of an adhd child told abc news that the new numbers could mean that many kids who have the ailment are finally getting the medicine they need. >> i think that once people start hearing about it and talking with others, that that's a big reason why we're seeing the increase. >> john: for more, i'm pleased to be joined by dr. william graf a pediatric neurologist and a professor at the yale school of medicine and by corey hebert assistant professor o

in numbers chapter five, god lays out the details of a bizarre and nasty abortion ritual where if a woman is pregnant with another guy's child, a bitter water is to be made. i'm not saying it is pro abortion but the character god is very pro child killing. in exodus, god kills every egyptian first born. in samuel, god tells the israelites to kill all of the macalmights. he considers them to be ripped over. god promises to kill the infants of samaria and says women with child shall be ripped up. in first book of samuel, god commands the murder of suckling infants and any child who curses his parents should be put to death which would have wiped out half my junior high school. if you believe in all of the bible as literal including the story of noah's ark, god sent a flood that killed everyone except noah and his family which means god killed every woman on ert which means god killed every pregnant woman which means god killed every unborn fetus. the fact is god is the least pro-life character in the entire bible. and potions like the one god recommends in numbers were commonplace in emperi
